Whitmansexual

By Antler

Whitman was a boysexual, a girlsexual,
a womansexual, a mansexual

A grasssexual, a treesexual,
a skysexual, an earthsexual,

Whitman was an oceansexual, a mountainsexual,
a cloudsexual, a prairiesexual,

A birdsongsexual, a lilacsmellsexual,
a gallopinghorsesexual.

Whitman was a darknesssexual, a sleepersexual,
a sunrisesexual, a Milky Way-sexual,

A gentlebreezesexual, an openroadsexual,
a wildernesssexual, a democracysexual,

A drumtapsexual, a crossingbrooklynferrysexual,
a sands-at-seventysexual.

Whitman was a farewell-my-fancysexual,
a luckier-than-was-thoughtsexual,

A deathsexual, a corpsewatchsexual,
a compostsexual, a poets-to-comesexual,

A miracle-sexual, an immortalitysexual,
a cosmossexual, a waiting-for-you-sexual.
